Ahh, it’s great to be able to be back here catching up with what is goign on around Europe and the world in skateboarding AND being able to go for an afternoon skate session myself today. So while I’m drinking my morning coffee I checked out the action which took place this past weekend at [...]

Damn! Now that’s really bad news. The Interact skate park in Burnley, UK (close to Manchester) is set to close it’s doors as the landlord has decided to use the property in some other manner! This is actually one of the only parks I have personally been able to skate while visiting the UK and [...]

The good weather seems to be spreading all over Europe (except for down south….) and the latest stop in the Quiksilver Bowlriders 2008 series had the sun beaming down on the smooth looking Cantelowe skatepark in London. The Gyppo Army is sure taking the scene with a furious onslaught of skateboard presence and consistently good [...]

The next episode of the monthly video installment “Hold Tight London” has reached number 8 and is now available for all of us to watch. Another good piece of skateboarding, filming and editing, enough said, check it out! Some times I just wonder if a lot, lot, lot less people were skating 10 years ago [...]

The contest and session machine is running at full power with yet another concrete session taking place June 22nd in Essex, England. Snakerun, cloverleaf bowl, pool, reservoir area, large banked run area, a no flat bottom concrete half pipe with extension and more make this skate park from the 70’s a must if you can [...]

It is always good to see that vert skateboarding and the contests which bring together the relatively few skaters still involved in vert skating are still taking place around Europe. 4 new contest dates have been announced for the UK for 2008 sponsored by Vans and the United Kingdom Skateboard Association, here are the venues: Sunday, [...]

…and this time in another not-so-well known town called Bridlington on the east coast of England. This one was built by the company Gravity and goes by the name of Gasworxs Skatepark.
